rbaquial Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Some of you have probably already heard of this Event and probably have some information on how this event works. Anyway, my question is exactly that... How DOES this event work? Here's the LINK to BPS' event. Can anyone shed some light on this? I tried looking on the BPS website, but couldn't find much... I'm assuming the way it works is when you trade in your reel... your reel is only worth 'so much'... and that value can go towards the NEW REEL of your choice? or....? I dunno... someone PLEASE HELP!! Thanks! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 That is pretty much it... Trade in your reel for $10 or something and put that against a new overpriced reel!! Sounds like a bargain to me, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjnkie Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) You bring in a working reel, then they give you a coupon with no value on it. Depending on the value of the reel you are purchasing in a specific price category, and a certain amount is taken off anywhere from $5 - $100 depending on the new reel value. EDIT: The amount values will be on the site and in the flier before the show. hope this helps. Edited February 17, 2009 by DanielM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be tested for this. EC1: Yes Shimano representatives will be at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markystang Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Should mention afaik, they take the used reels, clean them up and give them to charities that use them to take under priviledged kids fishing. I usually bring one in whether I buy a new one or not. Edited February 18, 2009 by Markystang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 you can also purchase a new reel from BPS for $10 and trade it in , thus you save $40 on the new reel minus the $10 you spent.hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glen Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think the sale starts in march. The reel trade in is on for the first week only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie66 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 The BPS sale starts on FEB 27 and goes for 3 wks. Go to their site for more details. They do this every year to get a head start on the Sportsman Show so you can dump your money there instead of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 27th is in reference to some stores in the states beginning their classics at that time. The classic dates for the Toronto store is March 6-22.

Weeds Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Last years reel trade in co-incided with some pretty decent deals on some reels actually. With trade in you could of picked up a C4 for about 80 bucks after tax if I remember correctly. I know alot of guys are not too big on the Abu C4 but there were some other bargains too.

What's wrong with the C4? Supposedly it got a lot of good reviews... especially on the BPS website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
